Tick Tock 03:16
"Tick Tock" Sand is falling through the hourglass Second by Second the present becomes the past We take it as it comes, we take it frame by frame Change is the only thing that stays the same Tick tock, the hands of time never stop Never slowing down, never speeding up Tick tock, caught up in our little games All the days drag on, while the years just slip away In the blink of an eye Looking back it's easier to see How quickly moments turn into memories It's hard to believe it's me in those photographs Should've known the good old days would never last Tick tock, the hands of time never stop Never slowing down, never speeding up Tick tock, caught up in our little games All the days drag on, while the years just slip away In the blink of an eye

"I Can't Take It Anymore" Byham/Butler Here I am, doing my best to begin again I pick up the pieces and try to mend them into something whole And though I see, this is the way it's supposed to be The past has got a hold on me and it won't let me go Cause every time I see you My heart falls to the floor I told myself I'd be stronger But I long for how it was before And I can't take it anymore No I can't take it anymore Remember when we said our love would never end The future seemed so bright and then it faded before our eyes I'm never free, everywhere has a memory Without you there's only half of me, can't stop this pain inside Cause every time I see you My heart falls to the floor I told myself I'd be stronger But I long for how it was before And I can't take it anymore No I can't take it anymore In my dreams you come to me and Show me all that could have been Then I feel the scars that won't heal As they open up once again Cause every time I see you My heart falls to the floor I told myself I'd be stronger But I long for how it was before And I can't take it anymore No I can't take it anymore

The Only One 02:59
“The Only One” Byham/Butler I can feel it getting stronger I know you feel it too Can’t get you off my mind From morning till the day is through Why try so hard to hide it Our eyes give us away Actions could speak much louder Come and show me what you’re trying to say So give it to me slowly I need you here to hold me And tell me I’m the only One you’ll ever love You’ve brought the brightest color Into my life so gray Come put your arms around me Make the world go away Maybe love could last forever Sometimes dreams really do come true All you have to do is say you want it to Cause I can feel it getting stronger I know you feel it too Can’t get you off my mind From morning till the day is through

"Just a Matter of Time" Byham/Butler It's never-ending, the days are blending Another hill we have to climb After every step, we never get ahead No matter how hard we try Turn the page again and again, it's all the same But pretty soon the tide will turn and our luck will change It's just a matter of time, before it happens baby Just a matter of time, wait for the stars to align You say you're leaving, you're sick of dreaming You burned out and you lost the faith All this running seems for nothing Nothing ever seems to go our way Turn the page again and again, it's all the same But pretty soon the tide will turn and our luck will change It's just a matter of time, before it happens baby Just a matter of time, wait for the stars to align If you can hold out, it won't be long now Everything's gonna come around We'll fight with love and we'll rise above We'll ride the waves that dragged us down Turn the page again and again, it's all the same But pretty soon the tide will turn and our luck will change It's just a matter of time, before it happens baby Just a matter of time, wait for the stars to align

"Figure it out as we go" Byham/Butler When the light grew dim, and the walls were closing in I didn't think I'd make it out When I climbed too high, I didn't think that I Could ever find my way back down But then I felt your hand in mine I knew that things would turn out fine We'll find our way somehow We'll figure it out No matter what happens now We'll figure it out There's so much we don't know But we'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go We figure it out as we go... we're going... ah, ah, ah Can't stop this life, you take a breath and you're on for the ride You just hold on and try to make it through Wrong turns, dead ends, I never know what's around the bend At least I know you're gonna be there, too We'll find our way somehow We'll figure it out No matter what happens now We'll figure it out There's so much we don't know But we'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go... we're going... ah, ah, ah As long as you're there by my side We'll make it one step at a time We'll find our way somehow We'll figure it out No matter what happens now We'll figure it out There's so much we don't know But we'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go... we're going... ah, ah, ah We'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go we'll figure it out as we go We'll figure it out as we go

about

Jay Byham's debut EP. Co-written and produced by Steve Butler (Quincy, Smash Palace) Released on January 22nd, 2022.

"At first proudly echoing those Proclaimers, by way of George Harrison, whilst elsewhere poking at the Quadrophenia Who, this is all-modern music SO imaginatively arranged, purposefully performed, expertly produced (by Steve Butler) throughout. ...Quickly-witted, assured, and ultra-chorus-catchy – that completely separates these sounds from the pack; the men from the noise, in other words. Smart without being too sophisticated, capturing the audio equivalent of a sly grin, you Will want to hear this, again and then again. Believe me, you will."
(Gary Pig Gold)
